Movie News

I think it's safe to say the Farmland premiere of The Girl in the Crawlspace was a success at the Farmland Community Center (11/3/18)! We had a packed house with a great audience. In the photograph up above, writer/director John Oak Dalton answers some questions after the screening. Cast and crew on stage behind John include Erin Hoodlebrink, Tim Richardson, Jeff Rapkin, Cliff Lowe, Jeff Shull, Joe Skeen, Katy Wolfe and Tom Cherry.

Lingering Thoughts

It is too hot for October. I don't know why that annoys me, but it does...The majority of the new hires at Touchy Feely Fotos either look like high school dropouts or barflys. I, on the other hand, still resemble a doofus...The Roches just released a new album! Yay!...I'm almost on the verge of finishing Triggerfish Twist which has been a loony, over-the top romp through the grid neighborhoods of Tampa. Author Tim Dorsey certainly packs his pages with plot and characters (Usually sleazy and mentally unstable) worth reading about. I will definitely be picking up more of Dorsey's novels in the future...Hey, I just won two Gumby comic books on eBay! Aren't you excited for me?...One of my favorite local actors, Joe Skeen, is currently starring in Frankenstein at the Muncie Civic which received a great review in The Star Press. Continue to break those legs, Joe!...It's early Wednesday morning and it's finally cooling down outside after some heated up days, Maybe we'll actually experience a true Autumn after all...I just found out Mom (Mine, not yours!) broke her wrist after falling into a ditch (Don't ask! It's a long story). This wrist is on the same hand that she injured in a car accident earlier this year. Man, when it rains, it pours and Mom's left hand keeps getting wet.

Not King D'oh!

It's time to crib from the King...I took yesterday off because I nearly pulled a Don Music at work on Thursday...Did you hear about that Jon Lovitz-Andy Dick scuffle a few weeks ago? There goes my hope for a Newsradio reunion!...There's a giant bag of Sweetarts on my bed as I type this...Why do I always get annoyed when my grandma refers to actors on soap operas as movie stars?...Saw The Simpsons with my friend Joe last week and I really enjoyed it. It brought back some of the tone of the earlier, classic seasons. I actually teared up during Marge's videotaped monologue. Yes, I'm a wuss...Why did somebody turn Underdog into a movie? Was that really necessary? And don't get me started on Daddy Day Camp! Curse you, Fred Savage!...Don't you hate it when someone you work with suddenly starts talking about their family and you're forced to listen out of politeness? My tips for the situation: Nod constantly, say as little as possible, fall to the floor, and pretend to have a seizure...I didn't get any mail yesterday...Kids will have to go back to school in a couple weeks. Ha ha!

Oink!

Today's Holiday Greeting: Happy Chinese New Year! It's The Year of The Pig so break out the ribs and the pork chops!

Boob Tube: According to my friends Theresa and Joe, a commercial for the Muncie Civic is airing locally that features the cast of Moon Over Buffalo which includes me. I have yet to see it, but I remember it was filmed during one of our later rehearsals. Though I dread to see how I appear in the spot, it's kind of nice to know I'm back haunting the local airwaves. It's been a couple of years since I stop making my little public access show and I miss knowing my massive mug could be seen in someone's unsuspecting TV set every Thursday night at eleven. Glory days...

Cruel Nicknames I Have Given People at Work: Moose. Swamp Witch. King Zombie. Grandpa Woman. Little Frigidaire.

Question of The Day: Is it me or does prefecture sound more impressive than state?

Current TV Crush: Last week's episode of The Office involving the bat was chockfull of comic bliss. From the pandemonium of the bat "attack" (Especially Angela's roll on the floor) to Michael's candy bar lecture to Pam's heartbreaking art show turnout (I think we both painted the same cup), the episode had all its bases covered and hit a homerun. Bonus points for the great use of Creed and Meredith. All comedies should be this good.
